American Highways

fri 6 jan 2017 18:00 hour

American music chosen by the American pianist Guy Livingston

AMERICAN HIGHWAYS #70: Henry Cowell – The Icelandic Symphony. Henry Cowell’s symphonic series, episode 8: American iconoclast Cowell composed an astonishing variety of symphonic works – large and small, intimate and bombastic, funny and poignant.   In this episode of American Highways, pianist Guy Livingston brings us orchestral music by this little-known american master: Ostinato Pianissimo for percussion ensemble, one of the classics of the genre; the Ballad, the entertainingly naïve Fanfare for the Latin American Allies; the complex Polyphonica; and the substantial Icelandic Symphony.
